Chapter 1

AN: Yeah I have got a new story last new one I promise, from this point on I will be working on this and my two highschool DxD stories. The next chapters of which will be coming out soon. For this I got the original idea from reading LordVanity's Irresponsible Master Naruto! Check it out it is really good you will love it, I literally busted a gut laughing. Anyway I hope you enjoy it there will be bits of this that will surprise people some of it is really original you will love it. There will be some heavy similarities between the two stories in the first chapter but that will be it from there on out they are very different, the reason for the similarities is because it is a brilliant way to start and introduce the story in my opinion and the first chapter was what the plan for my story originally derives from.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto and Fairy Tail.

Chapter 1

"You're an old fool Makarov! You won't be able to keep this up much longer, you need to retire, you have to take a break as Guild Master!" Porlyusica scolded a frown on her face as she did so. Porlyusica was a slim, elderly woman with pink hair, tied in a bun on the back of her head and reddish eyes, she was one of Makarov's closest friends and a former member of Fairy Tail.

"Nonsense!" Makarov replied stubbornly to the pink haired woman. Makarov was an extremely short elderly man and the current Guild Master of Fairy Tail "Its nothing I feel fine, I'm just a little stressed is all!" He continued a frown appearing on his face as he did so, despite feeling more the truth of her words in his old and tired body.

"Just a bit stressed?! Fool, your entire body looks like it is ready to collapse any moment now!" Porlyusica replied her face darkening as she did so, "Keep this up and you'll die you old fool!"

"I won't die with you by my side," The elderly man half-joked sending a crooked half-hearted grin at the scowling Porlyusica trying to divert her attention from the current conversation.

"Old fool, even I can't help you if you die... Makarov, you don't have to retire for good. Like I said, just take a break, not a long one, maybe just a few months. You just need a break from the stress... you can have Erza or Laxus maybe even Gildart's if you can find him to take charge until then," The pink haired woman suggested. She truly was looking out for his well-being. While it was true she disliked most humans, Makarov was one of the few humans she liked, an exception to her rule.

Makarov sighed slightly at her suggestion, "I can't... those children, my children, they need me..."

"I am sure that they do, but at this rate your body will fail you and then you'll die... for their sake if not for your own I suggest you either retire or take a break, it is up to you though, if you want to die then so be it!" Porlyusica snapped out, cutting through Makarov's excuses a frown marring her face as she did so.

"I guess you're right, I guess I really do need to relax," Makarov replied with a sigh deflating slightly, the stubborn scowl fading from his face as he sagged slightly in exhaustion. Her words had finally reached him. The elderly woman only nodded and Makarov continued, "I guess I'll have to think about who the new part-time Master will be..."

(Fairy Tail Guild Hall, On Hour Later)

Makarov was in the ever loud and boisterous Fairy Tail Guild Building, he was standing on the counter of the worn out wooden bar, behind which Mirajane usually worked as a barmaid. As he stood there, he just watched as his guild members, his children fought and drank with each other, smiles on their faces as they laughed out loud and joked together. He had seen most of them grow up from young children and teenagers into the fine young men and women they had become, know matter what anyone said he couldn't be more proud of his children.

'This is only temporary Makarov, it is not a goodbye no matter what, because even if I can't see them… even if we are separated far apart from each other… I'll always be watching over them. I'll definitely watch over them forever…,' Makarov thought with a sad smile looking over his surrogate family. It was time, no more waiting, it was time to tell finally them the news.

"Listen up you Brats!" The little old man bellowed, his voice echoing throughout the large building. Everyone in the building heard Makarov and suddenly stopped what they were doing, some of them freezing mid-fight. A wave of curious silence hung in the air for a good minute or so as they all looked expectantly at their Guild master, before Makarov bluntly said, "I have decided to step down as Guild Master."

"WHAT?!" Was the sudden deafening outburst of everyone in the guild room, the response actually shaking dust from the rafters. Some who were drinking booze at the time, spat out their drinks in shock, the most obvious being Cana Alberona.

"T-This is a joke, right?!" Gray a black haired and currently naked young man gasped out, from where he was still being held in a headlock by the pink haired fire mage Natsu Dragneel.

"I-Is Fairy Tail disbanding?!" Elfman a tall muscular white-haired man with a rather prominent scar running down his face shouted out almost hyperventilating, whether that be from the news he had just heard or from being buried under several other Fairy Tail members was unknown, however what was obvious was the fear and worry in his voice.

Makarov forced back a smile as he watched his children's shenanigans, even as he shook his head in response to Elfman's question, "No Fairy Tail is more than a Guild Master it is a family and it has been here long before all of us were born and it will be here long after we are gone. No I am retiring because my health isn't the best at the moment, and if I want to live to see the next generation of Fairy Tail... I'll have to take a break for a while... so until I return, someone else will be Master..."

At his proclamation a wave of relief rushed through the guild. It was only a temporary situation, their Master would probably just go on a holiday maybe to Akane Resort just to kick his feet back and relax, after all everyone needed a holiday once in a while. After the confirmation that he was not leaving for good settled in, the whispers of who the next Guild Master would be even if they were only part-time began circulating through the crowd as the members started throwing guesses around.

"It'll be Gildarts for sure!" Natsu Dragneel a lean, muscular young man of average height with a slightly tanned skin tone, black eyes and spiky pink-coloured hair shouted out enthusiastically.

"It'll definitely be Laxus!" Evergreen an attractive brunette with glasses smirked arrogantly as she looked around the Guild Hall daring someone to challenge her claim.

"Ha! No way, my money is definitely on Erza, she's both strong and scary enough," Macao a middle-aged man with slicked back dark blue hair stated confidently.

"It will be me! I AM A REAL MAN!" Elfman bellowed excitedly, while pounding his chest trying to show his manliness to the world as he did so.

"Ha! In your dreams, Elfman!" Gray responded finally breaking Natsu's headlock and leaping at the now free Elfman tackling him into the ground.

The gossiping and newly begun fighting was once again interrupted by Makarov before it was able to get out of hand, "I still have yet to come to a final conclusion on who will be the new part-time Master while I am away, but that is a problem for later, let us not worry about this, no for now is the time to celebrate lets party!" Makarov roared while everyone began to loudly cheer in agreement to their Master's proclamation.

(One Day Later, Fairy Tail Guild Hall)

"Oi, old man, what the hell did you call me here for? I'm a busy guy you know?!" Laxus Dreyar a tall and muscular young man with blue eyes, spiky blond hair and a distinct lightning bolt scar running down the side of his face, growled at his grandfather Makarov in irritation as he stood before him. They were currently on the second floor of the Guild Hall, in Makarov's cluttered little office, surrounded by stacks of paperwork most of which were complaints about the damage the each member of the Guild caused whilst out on missions. "And also who the hell is the guy in the corner,?! Is this about you leaving?!"

The person Laxus was referring to was a tall young man with medium length, wavy and spiked dark-blond hair, the man had thick eyebrows, twinkling blue eyes and very prominent eyelashes, the man actually looked quite similar to Laxus only less brawny and with slightly softer facial features. The man was wearing a black button-up long-sleeved shirt, over the top of which he wore a dark brown leather jacket with a folded, grey fur-trimmed collar and breast pockets on either side. He also wore simple black jeans with frayed hems and battered dusty brown leather boots.

"Yes Laxus you're right my leaving is the reason I called you both here from your obviously busy schedules, that is because one of you will be Fairy Tail's new Guild Master," Makarov replied whilst looking at the two young men over sending a slight frown to Laxus because of his abrasive attitude. "I know you are both powerful and have the potential to be great leaders, which is why before I choose I just want to hear something from you two before I make my final decision on which one of you it will be."

"It'll be me obviously! I'm mean who the hell is this guy, you would think that the Guild Master would at least be someone from Fairy Tail!" Laxus responded a suspicious scowl on his face as he glared at his fellow blonde.

"Eh! Really me? I'm not even a Fairy Tail mage any more Makky!" The young-looking man finally spoke up an amused look on his face as he watched the interaction between grandfather and grandson and the suspicious look Laxus was sending him. "Has your old age finally caused you to become senile?! Do you want me to take you to a retirement home or something?" He continued letting out a bark of laughter at the scowl the old man sent him.

"It wouldn't be fair if he became Master!" Laxus gave the stranger a cold glare. "Like he said old man he isn't a member I mean I haven't seen him before and I grew up here. Clearly Fairy Tail's Guild Master has to actually be a member of the Guild, and not some weak newbie that will only lead to this Guild becoming weaker than it already is!" Laxus continued to say alternating glares between the stranger and his grandfather. And to be honest he did have a good point.

"Your face is sexually harassing me kid, can you look the other way and stop checking me out?!" The blonde haired man said as he merrily caught Laxus's eye while he was still glaring at him and gave him a cheeky wink.

"Hmph, I won't waste my time with weak trash like you, whoever the hell you are" Laxus sneered before turning away and staring at Makarov waiting for him to explain.

"His name is Naruto Dreyar, Laxus and despite what he says, he is in fact still a member of Fairy Tail. He has his guild mark and so for as long as he bears it he will remain a member of Fairy Tail. And yes before you ask he is related to you if the similarities behind his appearance aren't obvious enough to you, he is your….." Makarov spoke up trying to stop the now named Naruto from baiting Laxus even more than he already was.

"….Your cousin of course isn't that right Makky, though usually these days I've started going by Uzumaki again." Naruto interrupted Makarov quickly cutting off what he was going to say while sending him a warning look at the same time.

"What! Since when the hell have I had a cousin?" Laxus spoke in genuine surprise.

"We can get into that another time Laxus, and Naruto I think you should stick with the Dreyar name for now it will make the transition easier if you are the next Guild Master, familiarity and all that." Makarov replied watching both of the men in front of him, even though they were both family they were both totally different. Naruto was carefree, irresponsible, and eccentric. Laxus was seriously power-hungry, arrogant and had a slight cruel streak in him, however there was still great goodness in him, hidden under all the blunder, arrogance and old hurt. But yes deep down inside he was genuinely good. But unfortunately only one of them would be Master. Even if Laxus did make a good point about not Naruto being Master because he hadn't been around for a long time, out of his two family members Makarov figured Naruto would make a better Master but despite this he still owed Laxus a chance to prove himself.

Laxus was right though, Naruto once was a member of Fairy Tail... many years ago, but not many people remembered the blond ever being a member because most weren't members at the time or even born.

Makarov looked at Naruto's right shoulder, even though the blonde had his leather jacket on, he knew Naruto still had his orange guild mark he had gotten many years ago.

"Makky," Naruto pointed at Laxus sending him a wink as he did so, "It surprises me you are considering making this brat the Guild Master of Fairy Tail, he has some serious problems." He stated with a mocking smirk to Laxus.

Laxus growled in annoyance, "You are my problem! I don't care if your my cousin or not I will break you if you get in my way!" He stated clenching his hands into fists as he shrugged off the big thick fur-trimmed over coat he was wear over his shoulders like a cape, leaving him in a leopard print tunic and leather trousers. As he did this lightening started to crackle and jump around him as he released some of his power causing the air to become thick with power and static.

"Laxus there will be no fighting, especially between family!" Makarov snapped at him. "My decision as Master will be final and you will accept it no matter what the result may be!"

"Hmph, whatever, just make me Master already!" Laxus snapped back as he stopped releasing his power both because his grandfather had a dangerous look in his eyes, a look that warned of impending doom, and also because his supposed 'cousin' didn't look at all bothered by his display in fact he just looked bored.

Makarov stayed silent. Before he spoke, "I want both of you to tell me why you want to be the Guild Master, and if you did become Master... what would your goals for this guild be? Don't think of lying either, because I will be able to see right through your lies."

"Oi, I don't want even want to be the Guild Master!" Naruto raised his hand, "It's just too much work, why would I want to be a Guild Master for such a troublesome guild? I would rather drink and gamble than be responsible and all that, after all it is much more fun."

Makarov ignored that comment resignedly and instead turned to Laxus, "Laxus, you go answer the question!"

Laxus smirked as he clenched his right fist, "I want to be the Guild Master to make Fairy Tail even stronger... I want to have everyone fear and respect us! I'll kick out the weak trash that don't deserve to be in this Guild old man, and Fairy Tail under me will become truly the strongest Guild in Fiore."

"I see..." Makarov sighed at this. It wasn't wrong to have ambition, but Laxus's way, he just didn't like it one bit. Laxus loved Fairy Tail, and he knew that, but his way wasn't the Fairy Tail way, he would only lead the guild to ruin that way, he appears he still has much to learn.

"Naruto... your turn," The old man turned to Naruto.

"Eh? Are you deaf? Is your age finally catching up to you? I told you I don't want to be Master... it seems like way too much work for me!" Naruto said laughing while picking his ear casually with his little finger.

"Let's say hypothetically you were Guild Master then, what would you do?"

"Nothing." Was Naruto's simple reply.

"Like always you're a complex and hard to understand man." Makarov thought while he sweat-dropped, he was doomed! He could already imagine the guild destroyed due to the blonde's carefree, lazy personality! Especially if he planned on doing "Nothing!" However... he had to admit he did like Naruto's response better it was more the Fairy Tail way.

"Very well!" After a short pause Makarov nodded and spoke, "Naruto you will be Fairy Tail's new Guild Master!" He said happily.

"WHAT?!" Both Naruto and Laxus yelled in union.

Laxus growled in rage after Makarov's announcement, "You'll leave the guild in the hands of this fool? He is not fit for it! Does he even have magic?! I don't sense any coming from him!" Laxus stated whilst glaring at Naruto.

"Oi, don't act like you're fit for it to bitch!" Naruto stated as he pulled out a bottle of sake from out of seemingly nowhere and started drinking, the sake dribbling down his chin messily as he did so.

"See?! He's dribbling like a child and drinking, how the hell is that responsible!"

"Everyone dribbles occasionally, but unlike them, I do it openly and don't try to hide it, as for the alcohol have you ever actually been in the Fairy Tail Guild Hall!" Naruto stated as he spat a bit of sake at Laxus. The glob of sake landing on Laxus's fancy boots making a mess.

"Very wise words, Naruto!" Makarov nodded ignoring Naruto's actions, "Do you know how many times I have to hid my dribbling, one of the curses of old age I'm afraid? The fear of being caught doing it is unbearable!"

"Stop joking around old man!" Laxus snapped at Makarov, "Get serious and make me Master!"

Makarov suddenly turned serious again the glint of danger returning to his eye, making Laxus regret what he had just said. The old man glared at Laxus and said, "I've made my decision Laxus. Naruto will be part-time Master whether you like it or not and nothing will change my decision, not you, not the gods and certainly not Naruto!"

"OI, SO I GET NO SAY IN THIS?!" Naruto yelled at Makarov indignantly before saying, "Do you want to die old man? You already got one foot in the grave I'll gladly help you put the other in the grave!"

"Yes you have no choice Naruto!" Makarov glared at him ignoring his tasteless joke, knowing that his defiance was more for the sake of being defiant than him actually being unhappy.

"You rotten brat, if dear Rita was here I bet she'd beat your ass into the ground for your insolence!"

"Just follow me Naruto." Makarov continued ignoring his remark for the most part, save for a slightly nostalgic smile at the reference to his mother as Naruto and him walked out of his office, and into the stairway of the second guild floor.

Everyone in Fairy Tail was doing their own thing i.e. drinking, fighting, gambling, but most of all! They were all wondering who the part-timer Master would be! Would it be Erza? Laxus? Mirajane? Gildarts? Hell would it be Natsu?!

"Fairy Tail! I bring you the new part-time Master for Fairy Tail!" Makarov all of a sudden yelled from the second floor, grabbing everyone's attention, "Meet Naruto…Dreyar, your new Guild Master!"

They all watched as a blonde walked forth as he picked on his right ear with his pinky.

"Yo!" Naruto lazily said while he waved at everyone with his free hand.

Everyone inside Fairy Tail thought the same thing.

Who the hell was the blond?!

AN: Well hope you enjoy it the next one will come out soon.
